Posted by anonymous | October 03, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Federal Crime

Handled my case thoroughly and quickly

I had a legal issue where I was facing potential federal charges from a national financial organization. I became extremely worried and tried avoiding dealing with it, but ultimately knew I had to do something about it. Eli was compassionate of the situation, let me know what the possible consequence...s of the charges were, and dealt with it expeditiously. Thanks to his quick action, no charges were ever brought, and the case was dismissed without even going to court. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
